Optimus and Megatron appeared on the higher parts of Mount Ihu,
where they would not be disturbed. A barrier formed around them, as
the other Phantoms and Aukati were teleported around them to bear
witness. "What is this?"

"You disappoint me, Optimus. By now you should know. Weren't you
sounding all confident just a few minutes ago? Or was that just
false bravado to motivate your troops?"

"So be it. It's you and me now, Megatron."

"No, it's just me, Prime!"

"At the end of this day...one shall stand..."

"And one shall fall! I've heard it before! YOU, Optimus
Prime!"

Megatron stood perfectly still... And waited for his arch nemesis
to make the first move. There was a short silence, a tension
hanging in the air.
